Like the Beastie Boys-inspired video for “Berzerk,” Eminem’s new video for the jaw-dropping showcase “Rap God” is heavily nostalgic, but there’s nothing subliminal about it. Dressed alternately as Pinhead and Max Headroom and others (including a “rapbot”), while rapping and levitating his way by artifacts including Pong, Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, and Bill Clinton, the video is liable to remind you of 13 years ago—and, for some reason, 26 years ago, too. Like the song, it’s all over the place, frequently nonsensical, and at least a litte bit of a rush.
